Love LGR (was binge-watching a bunch of his videos just yesterday, in fact), so it's really cool to see him saying all of this! :grin: And he makes a good point about how Linux has enabled so many more options in the handheld space, too.

LGR is great..... Love his videos.....
Nice to see him mentioning RetroPie as well...... RetroPie is how I got started on Linux with my Raspberry Pi 3B.......

He is right though..... Linux is so good now....... So so good......

LGR's one of my favourite youtube channels, and the one I've watched the longest. Cool to see him giving Linux a shoutout, and I agree with his sentiment, Linux has gotten really good. Trying proton for the first time was so cool, and now it's an integral part of PC gaming for me. No need to futz around with Wine configurations and prefixes, just hit Play and there you go.

Thank you for posting this to remind people of it. I remember [Voultar](http://www.youtube.com/voultar) talking about it on Twitter once, and I feel bad for some content creators cause of it. It's just like how GameStop or game store employees aren't your friends too.

Keep in mind that this also comes from someone that suffers from crippling loneliness when they're not on their meds (which I'm currently not). So I completely get the wanting more social relationships. Even though I've got plenty. Now that we're all older, it's harder to all get together nowadays (even online).
